Welcome back! This week is going to be super awesome. How did your 26-day vision board challenge go? When we meet this week we’ll look forward to hearing what achievements each of you were able to reach as a result of investing at least 5 minutes each day thinking/meditating/visualizing the goals/aspirations on your Vision Board! I know I have already seen 3 huge breakthroughs because of doing this challenge with all of you.
So come prepared this week to first share the specific results or milestones you’ve achieved because you exercised your visualization muscle in impactful ways. And remember, the deal here was if you did this exercises for at least 21-days out of the 26 we’ll all be going out to feast at a restaurant we all like! All you need to have done is 3 things:
- Write a one-page, double spaced, typed, personal experience on how the daily meditation and exercising your self-image helped you see progress and hit milestones on your vision board goals/targets. What did you see yourself doing? Did you take action easier or not because you took the time to first see & feel yourself being a winner and having accomplished that goal on your vision board? Other thoughts, experiences, feelings, etc.? Consider writing those down in your 1-page essay.
- Bring the tracker Marcie sent you this week on Feb 1st to class showing the number of days you did your meditation upon your vision board.
- Text Marcie and let her know you accomplished at least 21 days of the challenge so we can get a head count for the reward.
Now, don’t worry if you didn’t complete the 21 minimum day challenge, you can still come to class this week (just do the homework below).
This week’s homework:
- Read chapters 10, 11 and 12
- Fill in the blank on page 170 (see the page here):
- It is a well-known psychological fact that the people who ____________________ the easiest have the _____________________.
- According to chapter 10 and from what you have learned in your life, write down what you or a person can do to improve their situation you answered in the previous fill in the blank. Come prepared to share and discuss your answers with the class. Every thoughtful response will get a Van-buck and eternal wisdom 🙂
- Fill in the blank on page 176 (see page here):
- “I can forgive, but I cannot forget,’ is only another way __________________________
- Write down your thoughts about this subject above and why you think that is true or not? How might it be possible? Come prepared to share your thoughts in class.
- Fill in the blank on page 198 (see here):
- Conscience can mean many things to many people. For instance, if you are brought up to ____________, as some people are, that it is sinful to wear buttons on your clothes, your ____________________ will bother you when you do.
- The purpose of _______________ is to help make us __________ and _______________ — not the other way around. But if we are to “let our conscience be out guide,” our conscience must be based on ____________—–it must point to ____________. Otherwise, blindly obeying _______________ can only get us into trouble, rather than out of it, and make us _____________ and _______________ into the bargain.
- Ponder and write down at least 2 times in your life where your false beliefs (that you thought were true at the time) got you in trouble in any way (physically, spiritually, intellectually, socially?). How did you discover the truth? Did someone help you discover the truth? Did knowing the truth help you experience greater happiness thereafter? If so explain how? And for an extra Van-buck share with the class the specific scriptural reference (book, chapter and verse) where Jesus teaches us about how the truth will set us free?
- Write in your journal what you can possibly do in your life to become aware of false beliefs? And how do you plan on getting rid of false beliefs about yourself in any way, shape or form? What plan do you think your Heavenly Father would have you strictly follow to see success with this goal?
- On page 213 it walks you through a mental exercise of using your imagination to create/design your own “quiet room” inside your own mind. See the first page here and the next page here.
- Take the time now to either draw out on paper or print off a picture of what your mental quiet room looks like for you. Just do the best you can. You won’t be judged on your artistic skills here. The goal is to simply do it.
- According to the rest of the chapter 12 what is the value of creating your own mental quiet room to escape to? What does the author share with us about the analogy of visiting Yellowstone National Park and waiting for the famous Old Faithful geyser to go off?
